Exception: The potential head of water which may rise in the vertical drain pipe (tailpiece) may be used to reduce the horizontal pipe size and its slope if the head (rise) is sufficient when calculated as follows:

a. If the head [‘h] is equal to or greater than three-eighths (3/8) inch for each foot (31.35 mm/m) of horizontal pipe length, the horizontal pipe may be pitched at one-eighth (1/8) inch slope (10.45 mn/m), but sized according to the one-half (1/2) inch slope (41.8 mm/m) table.

b. If the head [‘h] is equal to or greater than one-eighth (1/8) inch for each foot (10.45 mm/m) of horizontal pipe length, the horizontal pipe may be pitched at one-eighth (1/8) inch slope (10.45 mm/m), but sized according to the one-fourth (1/4) inch slope (20 9 mm/m) table. (See Illustration A).

Illustration A.

EXAMPLE #1:

Roof Area - forty-eight hundred (4800) Square Feet (445.9 m2)

Maximum Rainfall/Hour - Six (6) Inches (152 4 mm/h)

Pipe laid at one-eighth (1/8) inch Slope (10.45 mm/m)

Using the one-half (1/2) inch slope (41.8 mm/m) table the horizontal pipe size will be six (6) inches. The available static head [’h’] needed to allow use of the one-half (1/2) inch (41 8 mm/m) table is calculated as follows: Three-eighths (3/8) inch of head pressure per foot (31.35 mm/m) of horizontal pipe run becomes 3/8-inch x 100 feet = 300/8ths, or ’h’ = 37% inches (952.5 mm) NOTE: Sizing from the one-eighth (1/8) inch (10.45 mm per m) table would have required the horizontal pipe size to be eight (8) inches (203.2 mm), rather than the six (6) inches (152.4 mm) made possible by use of the one-half (1/2) inch (41.8 mm/m) slope table.

EXAMPLE #2:

Roof Area - Six Thousand (6000) Square Feet

Maximum Rainfall/Hour - Six (6) Inches (152.4 mm)

Pipe Laid at one-eighth (1/8) inch Slope (10.45 mm/m)

Using the one-fourth (1/4) inch slope (20.9 mm/m) table the horizontal pipe size will be eight (8) inches (203.3 mm). The available static head [’h’] needed to allow use of the one-fourth (1/4) inch (20 9 mm/m) table is calculated as follows: One-eighth (1/8) inch of head pressure per foot (10.45 mm per m) of horizontal pipe run becomes 1/8-inch x 100 feet = 100/8ths, or ’h’ = 12% inches (317.5 mm) NOTE: Sizing from one-eighth (1/8) inch (10.45 mm per m) table would have required the horizontal pipe size to be ten (10) inches (254.0 mm), rather than the eight (8) inches (203.2 mm) made possible by use of the one-fourth (1/4) inch slope (20.9 mm/m) table.

c. If the head [’h’] is equal to or greater than ten (10) feet (3.05 m) (for example, base of a stack), all horizontal pipe downstream of any such vertical section may be the same size as the vertical pipe to which it is connected."
